Ben Affleck 'absolutely apologised' for groping a woman's breast, even though he claims he doesn't remember doing it

The Justice League star appeared shocked when Stephen Colbert asked him about Harvey Weinstein.

Referring to the "terrible crimes" as "hideous", Affleck called on men to become accountable for their actions.

He said: "This is just the kind of thing, as men, we become more aware of this, we need to be more mindful of our behaviour, and hold ourselves accountable and say, 'If I was part of the problem I want to change and be part of the solution.'

"And to not shy away from these uncomfortable, awkward or strange encounters."

"Believe them and create a business where more women are empowered and in place so that less of this happens and so that there is a way of reporting this stuff that people can feel safe doing, you know.”

In the wake of the Weinstein allegations, Affleck said he was "saddened and angry" that the movie mogul used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades.
